The main aim of the article is to determine how the implementation of the strategy of import substitution in non-primary sector of the Russian economy can be insured. Rostov region and other Southern regions of Russia were selected as the subjects of the study by the authors. Research particularly focuses on the main areas of socioeconomic development as well as the process of implementation of the import substitution policy. The authors also analyzed the possibility of solving the problems of import substitution in the non-primary sector of the regional economy, formulated algorithmic bases of realization of cluster interaction of state and business structures. The authors have presented some promising industry clusters far the South of Russia Region. This article contains suggestions for the creation of regional clusters in terms of import substitution. As a result authors concluded that within the non-primary development of regional economy the principle of cluster interaction of state and business structures allows for efficient implementation of the import substitution strategy in the industrial sector.

The purpose of the article is to determine the development trends of the best available technique installation mechanism and innovative institutions as suppliers of Russian analogues of such techniques in Russia and its regions. The best available techniques are considered in this article as the latest techniques, initially formed in the innovative sector with their subsequent implementation and inclusion in the category of the best available ones. The sources of this technique are considered as regional innovation systems, in which the innovative investigations are created and tested. In this regard, when forming a mechanism for the best available technique installation in the Russian regions, including the forest sector, it is necessary to ensure communication with the innovation sector, which would form the industrial enterprises’ demand for innovative environmental investigations. Taking into consideration the manufacturing industries’ linkage, the necessary innovations in the forest sector have been analyzed. Forestry is a supplier of raw materials for furniture and paper industries. Therefore, the modernization of reference books on the industries should be appropriate and comply with the programs for the forestry development in the Russian Federation.

The article deals with the issue of working out approaches to improving performance of regional institutions for stimulation of investment and innovation activities development in the Russian Federation.Regional innovative systems are the suppliers of innovative techniques for all economy sectors, social sector and territorial ecosystems. Particularly, much attention in the article is paid to the necessity of constant update of the so-called "best available techniques", which are to be introduced in Russian regions in the framework of the national project "Ecology".The target of research for the article is Rostov region with its innovative system with regard to the existing institutions, promoting the investment and innovation activities. The authors have explored the core indicators of the investment and innovation development in Rostov region and implemented systematization of innovative development in existing institutions (expert organizations) considering such factors as implemented support measures for the regional innovative system subjects, targets and sources of funding. The prospective ability of correlation between the employed support measures of researchand-development and implementational works and the needs for the prospectively best available techniques in the region's production sector has been studied as a particular factor.
